New features: Locking, send to front and back

Hello, everyone.  This week we've added a couple of new features based on your requests.  

  1. Send to front and send to back buttons in the toolbar:  This will save your poor fingers from having to click twenty times when all you want to do is bring a widget to the very front.
  2. Locking: lots of users have asked for a way to lock widgets in place.  We all know the annoyance of accidentally moving a widget after having nudged it into precisely the right position with painstaking care.  Locking is the solution, and it works just how you'd expect: click the "Lock" button in the toolbar to lock a widget, and click it again to unlock.  You can't move a locked widget (that's the whole point, after all), but you can edit its other properties and change the text by double-clicking as usual.  When you select a locked widget the outline will be red instead of green.

We hope these updates improve your wireframing experience.  Thanks for all your feedback so far, and keep it up!
